Ceuta and Melilla are Spanish territory where Africans are storming the border fences.
We told you about thisalmost two weeks ago and posted a map at right. Spain has territory on the Moroccan coast and obviously Morocco is allowing tens of thousands of African migrants through its country in their attempt to break into the Spanish territory.
The New York Times has now joined the fray with a piece aimed at making Spain look bad (what else!). Hat tip: ‘pungentpeppers.’
MADRID — About 80,000 African migrants are heading for Spain’s two enclaves along the Moroccan coast, leaving Spain struggling to contain the efforts that are coming in larger and increasingly coordinated surges in recent days.
The Spanish interior minister, Jorge Fernández Díaz, said Thursday that the situation at the enclaves, Ceuta and Melilla, was a problem not only for Spain, but for all of Europe, and needed to be handled “in cooperation with the European Union.”
The government of Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has faced intensifying criticism — within Spain and from the union — over its defense of the enclaves.
As Mr. Fernández Díaz noted on Wednesday, the first day of his two-day visit to the enclaves, “There are 40,000 people in Morocco who are waiting to cross illegally into Spain, and 40,000 more at the border between Mauritania and Morocco.”
They are mostly economic migrants and only a small number will be able to claim asylum. If I were the EU, I’d be putting the screws to Morocco. Just as the good professor said of Canada recently—they are paralyzed by the toxin of multiculturalism.
The word over the last few days, apparently still unconfirmed, is that Turkey has closed its borders to Syrian refugees.
Miliband, as British foreign secretary, met with Prime Minister of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in 2009 to discuss Iran. http://www.news.az/articles/turkey/1735
At the same time we have David Miliband, the new CEO of the International Rescue Committee, one of the largest of the taxpayer-funded resettlement contractors, praising Turkey for its generosity to Syrian refugees.
Don’t tell me they are planning to reward Prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan with a prize as they did Hamid Karzai a few years ago!
Our interest here at RRW is why is Turkey allowing Syrian Muslims to cross its other border into Bulgaria thus swamping that tiny poor European country with thousands they can’t possibly take care of and who are now causing social unrest there?
Then to top it off, Turkey’s Prime Minister (pal of Obama) has asked Obama to go after Erdoğan’s chief opponent who lives where? In Pennsylvania!
Yesterday several media organs reported that Turkey had closed its border to Syrians fleeing their country on account of the fact that the number of Syrians in Turkey would jump up to five million in a very short time.This information has not yet been corrected by AFAD or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, nor has it been denied.
If this is Turkey’s new policy it will have critical long-term ramifications for host communities, including Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq, and for Syrian civilians. Turkey is one of the biggest host countries for Syrians, and while the Turkish government estimates that a total of 700,000 Syrian refugees are in Turkey, local and international non-governmental actors who are managing the crisis on the ground have a more realistic estimate: 1.5 million.
Big smooch from Miliband to Turkey. Does Miliband think he is still Britain’s foreign secretary? He is the well-paid headof a US resettlement contractor, that’s all (right?). Speculation abounds that the IRC is really a covert arm of the US government.
Turkey deserves applause in receiving Syrian refugees fleeing the violence in their country and providing assistance for them, stated David Miliband, Britain’s former Foreign Secretary and president of the International Rescue Committee (IRC) during an interview in Washington.
Miliband attended a panel which was held to draw attention to the plight of the Syrian refugees on Thursday and spoke to Anadolu Agency (AA) correspondent in the aftermath of the panel.
Praising Turkey’s policy on the refugees, Miliband said he was in close cooperation with Turkish officials and attached importance to a very strong partnership with Turkey.
I had to laugh and wondered if the IRC was getting ready to award a prize to Erdoğan like they did Hamid Karzai—to “embrace political Islamism” as David Miliband would say. The IRC and Miliband recently saidthey would like the US to take 12,000 Syrians this year.
They can’t get to Bulgaria without having passed through Turkey!
Bulgaria
Bulgaria is swamped by Syrians flowing in from Turkey. Why isn’t Turkey stopping them on their side of the border? Is Turkey facilitating the invasion of Europe by Muslims?Why do news accounts never mention the fact that in order to get to Bulgaria they had to cross Turkey? Here is yet one more story about poor Bulgaria, this time at The Seattle Times:
Bulgaria, the poorest nation in the EU, has a refugee crisis. In the second half of last year, hundreds of undocumented Syrians arrived every week, putting a strain on a country ill-prepared for the flood of refugees escaping a civil war.
Bulgaria built a border fence with Turkey which has slowed the flow somewhat.
Pennsylvania?
Don’t miss this story at Creeping Sharia! Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan wants Obama to go after his enemy and close the schools of the Fethullah Gülen movement!
Since we are on the subject of the stealth jihad this morning, I found it amusing that staunch defender of Muslim immigration to Canada, Doug Saunders, says it is illogical that people would make the difficult move to a faraway land while hating the place they moved to and wishing to change it.
Doug Sanders: they just want to be like us!
See our Canada postearlier today. I didn’t give you anything from Muslim apologist Saunders, but this is what he said in a recent debatewith Dr. Salim Mansur.
The Globe and Mail columnist also addressed concerns that Muslim immigrants will eventually attempt to impose Sharia law in Canada, enacting edicts that oppose secular values, oppress women’s rights, and discriminate against homosexuals.
[…..]
“This narrative is built on a basic fallacy,” Saunders stated. “Why would any family endure the trouble and expense of immigrating to a faraway country because they hate its ways? People generally immigrate to places whose values and institutions they find agreeable.”
Saunders needs to tell that to the Muslims in the UK who are now making a move to take over some public schools according to The Mail(Islamist plot dubbed ‘Trojan Horse’ to replace teachers in Birmingham schools with radicals). Hat tip: ‘pungentpeppers.’
Muslim fundamentalists are plotting to take over state schools, according to leaked documents.
Activists have launched a campaign to oust headteachers using dirty tricks such as spreading false allegations and packing governing bodies with their supporters.
The plot, which ringleaders have named Operation Trojan Horse, has emerged in documents drawn up by the group and leaked to a local newspaper.
The dossier names several schools in the Birmingham area as targets of alleged plots.
The authors of the documents discuss extending the ‘jihad’ operation to Bradford and Manchester – cities with rapidly growing Muslim populations.
So, I would ask Mr. Saunders what is the difference between Canada’s Muslims and those in the UK? Only one difference as far as I can see, the numbers are not yet great enough in Canada, but they will be one day.
Where is the Muslim population in the US distributed most heavily, see our much-visited post here. Some states may surprise you!
The first thing I noticed in this Deutsche Welle “news” story is the number of times the reporter was able to get the words “right-wing” into one report! Check it out yourself (for a chuckle)!
Readers, we report refugee and asylum news from around the world so that you know how far ahead some countries are with their own cultural/demographic decline and the political backlash coming from the citizens. And, we have a substantial readership particularly in Europe, Canada and Australia.
Sweden is probably the farthest along in its demographic “change,” but Germany is trying hard to catch up as it, along with Sweden, welcomes large numbers of so-called asylum seekers across their borders. Germany has invited 10,000 Syrians to enter Germany this year on top of the Afghans and other Middle Easterners flowing over their borders. Most of the illegal aliens are economic migrants and will have no legitimate claim to asylum.
Pro Asyl’s Burkhardt: Silence the “right-wing propaganda” and allow only our socialist propaganda. So, who are the real fascists?
The Deutsche Welle “news” is really no new news, just a rehash and a call to silence the “propaganda” of the “right-wing!” Emphasis is mine:
In the Bavarian city of Fichtelberg on a Saturday afternoon in January 2014, a group of men pushed their way into a refugee shelter. Dressed in black and partially masked, the intruders stopped at the stairwell and began yelling, according to sources quoted in the local newspaper “Nordbayerische Kurier.”
Nobody in the shelter, however, understood what the men were shouting as most of the refugees had just arrived in Bavaria and spoke no German. After the shouting, the black-clad group quickly left the refugee shelter.
Arson attacks, broken windows and racists slurs painted on buildings are among the rising number of right-wing acts of aggression against refugee shelters across Germany. The Federal Criminal Police (BKA) registered 59 right-wing offenses in 2013, more then twice as many as the year before.
Fear that the “right-wingers” will join forces with the regular German folks! Eeek!
The German government also said it is concerned by the BKA statistics. “The right-wing scene turned noticeably against asylum seekers in 2013,” Pamela Müller-Niese, a spokeswoman for the Federal Ministry of the Interior, said in a statement.
The number of asylum seekers in 2013 reached its highest level since 1999. A total of some 127,000 people from Syria, Afghanistan and other hot spots in the world fled to Germany last year. To accommodate them, numerous cities have converted empty schools and military barracks into temporary housing.
In many places, however, residents feel ignored, and right-wing extremists have taken advantage of the situation by joining anti-asylum protests in their neighborhood. Such was the case in Berlin-Hellersdorf. The situation there became so tense last year that refugees required police protection to enter their housing units.
“The far-right is trying to exploit the mood in many parts of the population,” said Günter Burkhardt. “There’s an attempt to connect to the middle of society.”[This Deutsche-Welle “news” story is designed to warn-off the middle of society from any association with the “far-right.”—-ed]
Interior Ministry spokeswoman Müller-Niese also said there were concerns about the right-wing appealing to more of society by hyping allegations of “asylum abuse.”
Half of Germans say the country already has too many asylum seekers, according to Funke.
The real fascists in Germany are those who want to silence the people!
Pro Asyl‘s Burkhardt called on politicians to take responsibility for curbing the right-wing’s populist propaganda in Germany.He said there needs to be a clear commitment to the basic right of asylum and corresponding measures that allow asylum seekers to integrate in Germany.
Burkhardt goes on to say, give the asylum seekers apartments and jobs which I suspect is the thing that will infuriate the “middle of society” the most, and it will attract more migrants to Germany!
Russian news outlets have been reporting that there are hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians who have sought asylum in Russia over the last two months.
They say 140,000 have crossed the border into mother Russia for protection in the last two weeks.
Russian President Putin sure does know how “refugees” on the move can ring the medias’ bells. He knows the drill! Just follow the news on Syrian refugees to know what I mean!
News stories emanating from Russian state media this past week raise a serious question. Is Russia creating a fake refugee crisis in the Ukraine to justify its military intervention in the region?
No one has actually seen the refugees. Read it all. I have no time for more this morning.
